본 연구는 국제자유도시 제주의 친환경 소재 휴양복을 고찰해 봄으로써 앞으로 제주 의료관광 산업에서의 부가가치 및 수익 창출에 기여하고자 수행되었다. 의료관광 상품에 고품격 맞춤형 휴양복을 포함시킴으로써 관광객들이 제주에서 휴양복 착용의 쾌적한 체험을 하고 기념품으로 가져감으로써, 제주에 대한 좋은 인상과 추억을 갖게 된다면, 또다시 제주를 관광 목적지로 선택할 것이다. 잘 개발된 갈옷 휴양복은 다른 갈옷 상품과도 잘 매치될 수 있으므로 제주 문화상품 갈옷의 추가 구매 효과도 전망할 수 있다. 아울러 개발 휴양복의 사이즈 체계와 패턴 그레이딩을 구축을 통해 상품생산의 효율성이 상대적으로 매우 취약한 지역 업체의 애로사항을 해결하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 제주지역 갈옷업체를 조사하여 애로사항 및 개선점을 고찰하였다. 둘째, 제주 의료관광을 위한 갈천 소재 휴양복을 정의하고 문헌 몇 시장조사, 디자인 논의 등의 결과를 반영하여 타당성 있는 대표 디자인을 선정하였다. 셋째, 생산표준화를 위한 상품제작 사이즈체계를 정립하고 패턴그레이딩을 구축하여 제안하였다.

Purpose - With the worldwide aging problem and the development of globalization, customers prefer to seek affordable medical services with the higher quality overseas. This new trend has urged some destination countries to improve their services for the more competitive advantages over other countries. Literature research indicate that medical quality and cost may be the key factors influencing global patients’ decisions. In the international environment, however, medical tourism destinations are selected due to cultural similarity between the hosting country and the customers’ own country. The more similarity perceived between the two countries leads foreign patients to choose the considering country as the destination for medical tourism. However, little research has been conducted on this topic. Thus, we empirically investigate how cultural similarity influences Chinese medical customers’ choice of the destinations. We also consider the factors related to medical competency and travel attribute which might affect customers’ decisions along with some moderating roles of disease types. Research design, data, and methodology – We proposed a research model in order to confirm the relations among different variables of cultural similarity, medical competency, travel attractiveness, disease types, and destination choice. The questionnaire survey is processed in the more economically developed regions of China such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Jiangsu. Conditional logit regression is applied to analyze the data of 881. Results - Results indicate that cultural similarity is the important predictor of Chinese customers’ decision to select a medical country. However, the effects of cultural similarity vary according to the disease types. We also find that medical competency and travel attractiveness influence their decisions with the moderating role of disease types. Conclusions – Cultural similarity is the important factor that influences Chinese potential medical tourists’ decisions to select a destination. Marketing managers should consider the effects of cultural similarity when developing strategies for attracting Chinese medical tourists. Since medical competency and travel attractiveness are still the critical key elements for them to evaluate the destination countries, it is necessary to continuously improve medical service quality and facilities. The results also recommend that medical managers should sharpen their marketing strategies by segmenting Chinese potential customers in terms of disease types.
